This next character drawing that I am about to submit is something that I have been wanting to draw and make a lesson out of for a long time already. I have a favorite video game that I have loved since I was like seven years old. One of the characters in the game series is the best character that has ever been created for a zombie shoot’em up game in a long while. You will be taught “how to draw Leon”. Leon made his first appearance in Resident Evil 2 as a police officer. He worked for the “Raccoon Police Department”. When he gets to Raccoon City, the whole place is loaded with zombies. Now because of that he unwillingly starts his adventures as a zombie hunter basically. He eventually meets up with another popular character from the game, “Claire Redfield”. The two try everything they can to make it out alive from a carnivorous zombie community that feeds on the living. Leon continues on to appear in "Resident Evil 3". It is in this game that he joins a government agency. He returns once again in my favorite, “Resident Evil 4". It basically picks up where it left off. Now Leon is officially a US government agent now, and this time he is on a search and rescue mission to retrieve the Presidents daughter Ashley Graham. The kidnappers have Ashley in their possession in a building somewhere in Europe. The pose and style of Leon is drawn out to look exactly how he does in the games. Drawing Leon is going to be a challenge because of the detailing involved. All you have to do to get through this tutorial is, take your time, and do your best. If you do that, I think you will find that learning "how to draw Leon Kennedy step by step”, really wasn’t that hard. Oh yeah F.Y.I, there is going to be another Resident Evil movie coming out and I can’t wait to go and see it. I bought the trilogy so I can catch up on forgotten scenes that will be vital to understanding part four. Okay peace peeps, and happy drawing!

How to Draw Leon

STEP 1.

Are you ready to start drawing Leon or what? Let's get started. Draw a circle for Leon's head and then add the facial guidelines. You will then start drawing out Leon's body lines of motion which is the frame you will draw that Leon's pose will be in. Once that is done you can move to step two.

STEP 2.

I suggest that you enlarge every step to see the lines you will have to follow when I am explaining what to do next. Here you will sketch out the front lining for Leon's hair style. Next sketch out the shape of his face and jaw. Next draw in the left eye as you see here.

STEP 3.

Start sketching out the rest of Leon's hair style which is straight and long. Next start sketching out some more of his face like his nose and add some detailing to his eye. Next sketch out some of his torso and or clothes like his shirt and right arm.

STEP 4.

Continue to draw Leon's upper body in more detail and order. Yo will draw the sleeve for his tee that he is wearing and then begin sketching out the shape of his hand gun and finger. Before you leave make sure that you sketch in Leon's mouth as well. And also make sure you draw his gun holster that sits like a vest.

STEP 5.

Finish sketching out the shape of Leon's arms and hands. Be sure to sketch in his nails and the lines on his finger for his gloves. Once that is done you can draw out his hand gun in more detail and add some definition to it as well. Lastly, draw the shirt lining for the connection of the waist and or pants.

STEP 6.

Draw the strap that is on his torso and then draw out the pouch that holds the clips or magazines for his hand gun. Once that is sketched out you can begin sketching out his pants. When you do this you will also draw the belt, pockets, and left leg strap.

STEP 7.

Well believe it or not but, you have reached your last drawing step. All you have to do is finish sketching out his pants and then draw in the shape and style of Leon's boots. Lastly erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one to clean up your Resident Evil character.

STEP 8.

When you are done with this tutorial on "how to draw Leon", you will have an awesome drawing of one of the best characters on Resident Evil.
